It started about 5 months ago, but wasn't that consistent. When I'd sync my Sansa e270 using Windows Media Player (latest version) my pc would occasionally lock up (requiring a hard reboot).
But now it seems to happen within a few mins of using ANY USB device. I've tried different USB ports, I've tried several different mp3 players, and my new USB hard drive - they all lock up my pc requiring a hard boot. I thought it was because I was using the USB ports on the front of the case (via the USB header on the mobo), so I tried using the USB ports in the back. Locked up.
I thought it was Windows Media Player, so I tested my USB hard drive. Locked up.
What good is it having all the USB goodies in the world if your pc locks up everytime you use them???
Oddly enough, my printer (HP PSC 2355) I have hooked up via USB port - and not once has it locked up when I've printed, scanned or inputted any digital pictures via the media card reader.
My system is listed below, all links and components are up to date.
Can anyone help me trouble shoot this, please?
